Way too soon to say, and loads of variables, but I'll play along.

AFC
Bills over Dolphins
Bengals over Ravens
Jaguars over Chargers

Chiefs over Jaguars
Bengals over Bills

Chiefs over Bengals

 

NFC
Niners over Seahawks
Giants over Vikings
Cowboys over Buccaneers

Niners over Cowboys
Eagles over Giants

Eagles over Niners
 

Super Bowl
Pfft - who the F knows. Eagles over Chiefs (in the hope of manifesting this into reality)

I was intending this thread to initially only include predictions for the upcoming wild card weekend.  Then once this weekend is played out, start predicting divisional round and so on.

2024 wild card round

 

Hawks over Falcons

Eagles over Rams

Lions over Vikings

 

Chiefs over Steelers

Bengals over Chargers

Jaguars over Jets

 

Niners got the worst draw they could have IMO.  Seattle plays them tough. Divisional opponent. 

dallas has a tough go.  Playing TB w TB in TB. 

I think minny beats the gints, so I don't think we see the gints.

Rooting for the Jags & Doug on the other side.  Barring them, don't care.

I think a lot of people are immediately giving SF the W, which means that the Niners would have beat the Hawks for the 3rd time this season. 

Beating a divisional opponent 3x is a tall order, but we may find ourselves in the same situation in a couple of weeks...

They beat them pretty handily both times, and the game in Frisco Seattle's only points came on a blocked FG returned for a TD.

As long as it isn't Dallas coming back to Philly I'm good.

Yup yup.

I want them to choke against Tampa, but I am not scared of them, and it will be worse for them to lose to us in the playoffs over TB.

Ok. Eagles offense looked like ish against a bad team and a team that played mostly backups. They went 1-1. Eagles need Lane MVP Johnson to be ready for the PO

The NYG game plan was simple. Do enough to win and not get anyone hurt. They accomplished both. I'm almost 100% certain they didn't do any RPO. That was preseason football.

Who cares. But would definitely be more fun for Dal to lose 1st round again.

Prefer that dallas suffers the loss in the first round to maximize the anguish, but whatever.  We will not be as vanilla and they won't get all the same bounces, breaks and short fields.

Sure would help if QB1 is feeling better and we get Lane back (huge).   

I honestly would probably prefer getting the Giants. They will be cocky after their backups stuck around on Sunday. I think we match-up well though.

No need bro.  I should be the one apologizing for not making the intent more clear.  All good!

Nothing would give me more satisfaction (other than winning it all) than knocking Dallas out of the tourney.  But I also prefer the path of least resistance so as to maximize our chances of hoisting another Lombardi, and they seem to play us much tougher.  So if TB happens to knock them out first I’d be perfectly fine with that!

Chargers 27-22

Vikings 20-17 OT

Cowboys 30-20

49ers 28-7

Bills 40-19

Bengals 23-9

My guesses are the following...

AFC

Buffalo Bills defeat the Miami Dolphins

Jaguars defeat the LA Chargers

Cincy Bengals defeat the Baltimore Ravens

KC would then host the Jaguars and Chiefs win.

Bengals go to Buffalo and lose to the BIlls.

AFC Championship Game

Buffalo (coin toss neutral site?) vs Chiefs could flip a coin as to which team wins too.

Bills go to the Super Bowl

-------------------------------------------------------------------

NFC

San Francisco 49ers defeat the Seattle Seahawks

Tampa Bay Bucs defeat the Dallas Cowboys.

NY Giants defeat the Vikings.

Philadelphia Eagles defeat the NY Giants!

Tampa Bay Bucs defeat the 49ers.

NFC Championship Game

Philadelphia Eagles defeat the Tom Brady's Bucs!

Eagles go to the Super Bowl

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Super Bowl
Buffalo Bills last four appearances to the Super Bowl ended in Loses from the NFC East

NY Giants, Dallas twice and Washington Redskins (what the team was called at the time).

Could the Eagles also defeat the Bills, yes, yes they can and will

Eagles  win their 2nd Super Bowl!

I think we will be playing Brady and the Bucs. A rematch of last season. I don't see any of the wild card teams in the NFC winning. I think they are a weak bunch.

Dallas against a mostly healthy Hurts at home doesn’t care me.

I'm not scared of them. We are a better team and we should beat them. But Dak always plays well against us and losing to Dallas would be the worst way to go out of the play offs. 

I'm going with the following...

Dallas over Tampa - Tampa has just looked bad for most of the season

Giants over Minny - Minny needed a 61 yard FG as time expired to beat them 4 weeks ago

SF over Seattle - Seattle just...isn't good.

Eagles vs Giants in Divisional Round

I think Seattle is going to beat the 49ers, so we'll face them. Giants will lose, and Dallas is going to eek out a win.

I love it that Dallas and Tampa are playing on Monday night so if the other games go as planned, the Eagles are hosting a team on short rest.

Not only Cowboys-Bucs... The winner of this wild card game is guaranteed to play on Sunday in Divisional round. So if Seahawks or Giants win, I think it's likely they the Eagles on Saturday. Then only the Seahawks would have the full 7 days off.

Tampa has looked bad this year except when they faced the Cowboys. 😂

Brady has also never lost to Dullarse. And the Cowpies are like 0-7 on the road in the play offs.

I think this is also their third road game as well. It won’t be easy for them.
